C47

"Doctor Shui might as well hear what Prince Chu has to say, and ask the Emperor to decide." Someone from the Prince Chu party spoke up.

"Prince Chu has already admitted to it. What else is there to say?" National Duke Ying immediately objected, "Your majesty, Prince Chu imprisoned Doctor Shui, causing Doctor Shui to be unable to come to the imperial court. He disregarded the authority of the imperial court, so I ask that Your Majesty punish him with small punishments."

"Your majesty, why don't we listen to what Prince Chu has to say before coming to a conclusion?" Liu Changqing said.

Yun Lancang looked at the crowd and then slowly said: "Is there anything that Prince Chu wants to explain?"

"Your majesty, this humble subject has already told the emperor." Prince Chu stepped forward and said.

Yun Lancang slightly raised his brows: "Why didn't I remember when it was said?"

Prince Chu continued to speak, "This humble subject has given the emperor a note."

"A paper?" Yun Lancang frowned.

Eunuch Shou suddenly remembered something, and whispered, "Your majesty, a few days ago, the emperor sent someone to ask Prince Chu out of curiosity for a leave of absence paper. Prince Chu said it hasn't been confirmed, and for the time being, he wants to buy some information from the emperor."

Yun Lancang instantly remembered that Prince Chu seemed to have applied for leave, and the reason was that he had discussed the marriage of his children with his future relatives and even applied for leave for his future relatives.

"Your majesty has forgotten that this humble subject has given you a paper slip. It's alright." As Prince Chu said this, he took out a paper from his sleeve, "This humble subject has already brought it."

"I remember." Yun Lancang slowly said.

"This subject requests Your Majesty to allow this humble subject to read the paper in front of my colleagues." Prince Chu said, "To prove that this humble subject did not personally detain Doctor Shui, and did not look down on His Majesty.

Yun Lancang spoke indifferently: "No need. The contents of the paper said that Prince Chu asked for a day's leave to discuss marriage between his own parents. The name of his future relatives was not written on it yet, so I specially sent someone to ask about it."

"Indeed." Prince Chu immediately bowed, "That person is Doctor Shui."

"Nonsense! Who is related to you in the future! " Shui Yiyuan was so angry that his face turned red. Prince Chu had been mad at him for the past few days, but today he was still spouting nonsense. This was really infuriating.

"Doctor Shui, may I ask if I told you about my son's personality and birth date, and that I even asked you to take your fourth lady's birth date?" Prince Chu looked at Doctor Shui with a smile.

"I didn't!" Shui Yiyuan immediately rejected it. The other day, he was really infuriated. That day, Shui Yiyuan didn't give Prince Chu Shui Qingyan's birthday celebration, so Prince Chu put laxatives in the tea that Shui Yiyuan drank, but Shui Yiyuan had no place to complain!

"Your majesty, Prince Chu clearly knows that Fourth Miss is the master of the Jade Snow Duck Pendant, but he still wants to be intimate with Doctor Shui. This is the crime of being disrespectful to your majesty!" Assistant Minister immediately grabbed hold of Prince Chu's weakness.

Prince Chu didn't take Assistant Minister seriously at all. He cupped his hands and said, "Doctor Shui indeed didn't give it to me."

"Your majesty, Prince Chu has disrespected your majesty this time. He deserves to be punished." National Duke Ying stepped forward.

"Assistant Minister and National Duke Ying seem to have forgotten the Cheng Ruo that the Emperor gave to this son of mine five years ago." Chu Chen opened his mouth and spoke indifferently. On his face, not a single trace of emotion could be seen. His eyes were unshakable.

The ministers looked at each other and thought back to five years ago, when Prince Chu was killed and the Wu Residence nearly lost their heir. The emperor came to see Liu Tie and said, "The crown prince is fortunate to not die, the young master will definitely have a heart of a beautiful woman."

"When the emperor promised this son of mine, he placed the Jade Snow Duck on the young miss of the Shui Family. At that time, Fourth Miss was also a 'beautiful woman'." Chu Chen said plainly.

???? As these words were spoken, the ministers began whispering to each other.

"Prince Chu's words are reasonable."

"If Prince Chu had applied for an edict five years ago, then the current Fourth Miss would indeed be the crown prince's consort."

"But the Fourth Miss is no longer the Fourth Miss she once was."

"That's true."

"This Emperor's words are still true." Yun Lancang slowly said.

Due to Yun Lancang's words, the throne room instantly fell silent.

"If Your Highness is interested, I can grant you a marriage right now." Yun Lancang stared at the ministers at the bottom of the Nine Dragons Steps with his dark eyes.

"Your majesty!" Shui Yiyuan opened his eyes wide.

At this moment, everyone looked at Chu Chen.

Shui Qingyan was still standing there like a statue, as if everything that happened around her had nothing to do with her.

After a long while, Chu Chen opened his mouth slowly, "Fourth Miss' Heavenly Beauty, your subject has a disease, so I dare not delay Fourth Miss. Fourth Miss is a daughter-in-law of the Royal Family, so this subject does not dare to offend you.

No trace of emotion could be seen on Yun Lancang's face.

Shui Yiyuan secretly let out a breath when he heard this.

Prince Chu looked at Chu Chen, then at Shui Qingyan, and finally at Shui Qingyan. This little girl was a little interesting.

"Your Majesty, your subject did not despise the Emperor, but your humble servant was very excited when I heard that Fourth Miss was together with Little Chen. As you know, Little Chen has little desire for marriage, and your humble subject has never married before." Prince Chu said as he bowed.

"We can also understand Prince Chu's heart." Yun Lancang looked at Chu Chen and said, "prince is already at the age of marriage. If you have any interest in any of the young mistresses in the capital, you can just hand down the marriage decree."

"Thank you, your majesty." Chu Chen bowed in greeting.

"Your majesty, this humble subject wants to ask Prince Chu why he met Qingyan." Shui Yiyuan spoke again.

"You'll have to ask your daughter." Chu Chen cold threw a hail to Shui Yiyuan.

Shui Yiyuan's face turned red, "My daughter has been with you for seven or eight days already. Why didn't you return as soon as possible and even asked my daughter if she, a weak girl, could be more stubborn than prince!"

Chu Chen: "Cough, cough, cough …"

After Shui Yiyuan finished his sentence, Chu Chen burst into a fit of coughing. Everyone could not help but feel anxious. Even a cough from a beauty could break a person's heart.

"You!" Shui Yiyuan was so angry that his face turned red because Chu Chen used the truth to tell him that he was not strong. On the contrary, he was very weak.

"Your majesty, Liu Tie is lacking in manners." Prince Chu immediately amplified Chu Chen's coughing behavior to tell everyone that his son was very weak and that Miss Shui Si might not be able to beat Chu Chen.

Yun Lancang frowned slightly. He looked at Shui Qingyan, who was smiling and not saying anything. He wanted to say something, but his mouth opened but no words came out.

Seeing this, Eunuch Shou glanced at Shui Qingyan and whispered into Yun Lancang's ear, "Doctor Shui is the father of the fourth lady. He should know where the fourth lady is."

Yun Lancang then turned his gaze towards Shui Yiyuan who was staring at Chu Family father and son: "Sir Shui, could it be that you don't know why Fourth Miss is with Prince Chu?"

Shui Yiyuan immediately bowed: "Reporting to the emperor, this humble subject really doesn't know."

"Your daughter, you actually didn't know?" Yun Lancang frowned.

"Your majesty doesn't know that my daughter has turned fourteen this year. When she reached her prime, she married into Second Prince's estate, so I gave her the authority to study seriously. But my little girl is mischievous, and was instigated to go to the Ma Ji Town, it is this humble subject who did not have a good education. "

Shui Yiyuan's heart was filled with grief, and he revealed the matter of 'Ma Ji Town' that everyone had forgotten.

Shui Qingyan smiled faintly when she heard this. It was the same smile she had always had. Shui Yiyuan wasn't saving her at all, he was harming her.

Sure enough, as soon as Wu Tie finished speaking, Assistant Minister immediately said, "Your majesty, Fourth Miss doesn't know her lady's teachings. She brought the imperial family's Jadesnow Mandarin Duck Pendant with her and even went to that kind of place with all sorts of methods. She insulted the imperial family's face and asked for a heavy punishment from your majesty."

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Miss must have been bewitched by someone into a daze. I hope that Your Majesty can be merciful." Liu Changqing immediately went up and said.

When Shui Qingyan heard Liu Changqing's nervous voice, an image of Liu Changqing suddenly appeared in her mind. It was a rock brown longevity gown, with a goatee, and an old-fashioned face. In her eyes, there was a caring gaze that Shui Qingyan would never understand.

"If the Emperor allows Fourth Miss Shui to do so, then in the future, many 'Fourth Miss Shui' will appear to humiliate the Emperor. Please make your decision, Your Majesty." Assistant Minister held on tightly to Shui Qingyan.

"Your majesty, my daughter is young. This humble subject is willing to bear all the guilt for my daughter. I hope that Your majesty will be lenient in his punishment." Shui Yiyuan bowed deeply. His tone was filled with sorrow, each word was filled with the love a father had for his daughter.

"Your majesty, this unhealthy wind is absolutely not to be allowed to spread, or else there will be endless troubles in the future. I hope that Your Majesty will punish them severely so that no one will imitate you." Assistant Minister steeled his heart and wanted to heavily injure Shui’s Marion.

All the ministers looked at each other. Some of them clasped their hands and bowed. "This official will second it."

"Please excuse me, Your Majesty." A small number of people opened their mouths.

Some of Prince Chu's team expressed neutrality and did not participate.

Yun Shi looked at Shui Qingyan as he squinted his eyes slightly. He did not believe that Shui Qingya would admit defeat just like that.

The back of Yun Lancang's hand was full of veins. He was on the verge of becoming angry.

Eunuch Shou looked at the minister who was pointing at him and also felt anxious. Looking at the group of ministers, it seemed like it wouldn't be an exaggeration to break the fourth lady's car.

When everyone was waiting for Yun Lancang to deal with Shui Qingyan, she spoke up.

"Assistant Minister said I humiliated the Royal Family?" Shui Qingyan spoke indifferently at this moment. Her tone was like a gust of cold wind in spring. It was casual and contained a slight cool feeling. Everyone who heard it was stunned.

When Yun Lancang heard this, the hand holding the dragon throne moved slightly. He looked at Shui Qingyan and confirmed that she was the one who had spoken.

Assistant Minister also looked at Shui Qingyan. At this moment, Shui Qingyan was also looking in Assistant Minister's direction with her head tilted.

"You said that I humiliated the Royal Family?" Shui Qingyan smiled as she looked at Assistant Minister.
